For o country famous for its nasnssins and banditti, this is extroordinary legislation. ‘Tho Board of Educatfon is bostirring itself toward effecting two important changes in tho presvut system of mansgement, It 1s proposed to take moasures looking to a bet. ter nourity ngaiust possibla loss in connec- tion with tho largo fond at all timea in the bands of the Schoo! Agont, and also to smend the rulos g0 that bereofter the saln- ries of teachors slnll not bo fixed until after tho Common Couvcil shall have made the anoual appropriations. In both coses the Board would bo better ndvisod than ot pres- pnt of tho amount of cash on hand, g Now that the tables are turned and the Dcemocrntio Scnstors find themsclves no Jonger in tho majority, their ideas on the subject of the investigation and proof nec- casary before a vote cau be taken on a con- tosted caso have undergono o remarkable trausformation. When the BuTLER case was foromost, and their advantage seomed secure, they would listen to no proposition looking to further inquiry; but now that tho Kez- 10a6 onso hag como to the front—n case in which pages of testimony have been taken wlero paragraphs have been in the South Carolinn contest—the Democrats are in. tonscly anxious for more light, and declatm loudly sgainst tho injustice of settling a question without admitting more evidence, ‘Tho ountlaw Raxox has arrived in safely at QGalosbury, N1, and fs now secarely cooped within fiva square flagstones and an iron grating. Arrived at his last quartors on oarth, this strange man lmmediately is filled cntirely with a new project. His ono jden mnow seems to bo to rovenge himself with Lis pen dpon tho prison-keepers at Michigan Oity, Ind., who humbled his spirit Ly fastenng n ball nnd chain upon him while he was undergo- iug o sentence for burglary, The probability of his spoedy cxecution clcits from him only the morsl reflection that legal doath by strangulation sbould bu eatirely puoblie, thus acting as a terrible chieck to the evil-disposed, aud nyain, belog entirely froo of thu wspeets of o sccrob nasassination, This brazen desperado, by a strange fusion of apparent good-nature and perfectly din- bolical feracity, hos dealt a blow ab society from which it will not recover by merely terminating his existence aa speedily as pos~ sible, for thero is not o rogue in tho land who ix ot filled completely with a vicious swhition, more or less dangerous, to rival tho exploits and emuluto the stojoism and sang:frodd of tLis Bixteon-String Jacx of wodern tiwes, Tho procecdings of a sivgle afternoon’s ession of the now nearly defuuct County Ring aco covugh to make tho taxpayer shud- der ut tho thought of the amount that would bave been stolen during the cusuing yoar if the Ring hud not been broken by the elec- tion of five Republimn Commuissioners. What they trivd to steal, what $hey did steal, »od what they laid the foundation for steal- ng boreafter, would make up a total which it would be rush to’yucss at.* Among the Jtems of uctual accomplishment is ono of $1,000 for reporting tho ts- timopy in the County Commiusdoners' trisls in the Criminal Court, and which should have beon paid oat of the pockets of the defendants; €584 paid to Lixs on anold priutivg grab; 85,000 pald to-Szxrox for extra work on the Court-House which the Bourd does not know was ever douo ; and $36 paid to Presidons Hoxpzx for carrisgo. hire in conuection with the funeral of ula- borer sceidentally kilied at the Court-House. Wonso thansll this combiued, for uo oue “truly artistio ifhed, Thero probably never will be a timo, whilo human nature remains imporfect, whon wealth and social position will not give the persons who can command them an nd- vantago over thosa who do not; but the ad- vantage iz not to be so great during the next generation in this country as it has been during the past fifteen yoars, If conspiou- ous examples aro wanted for the publio good, wo do not know whero ‘the officors of the Inw can bettor go for influentinl criminals than to some of the life-insuranca companies liko the vne of which Mr, Oies was Presl. dent, upon what they have lest, and to wish the Democrats good luck over their precious nc- quisition?

Evcty timo ono of theso falso tenchers is oxposed, it is a matter for devout thanks.

Takon altogethor, it was'a black-letter day in tho annals of tho County Board. MacMantox made it convenient to bo ab- sent yesterday on the occasion of the visit of 8 depntation representing the Trades Council of Paris. The delogntes were forced to pre- sent thoir address to tho Presdont'a Secre- tary. It would not have been a plensant thing for MaoManox to listen to, since it re-" the dollar would be, but fts maney valuo is at present Bilg cents in gold.

Had it not been for tho greatnid it so quietly but effectunily rendered the business public and the peoplo, of tho whole North in fact, the Domocratic haters of the army might have succeeded in disorganizing 1t. Turning things over in this wny, thoro is every reason to bo thank- fal for evorything that has happened, because dressed Congress offioially, and all his Executive nets have the full force of law. The IHonse of Reprosontatives (Demo- cmatio) havo voted supplies for tho snp- pott of the army, which they rofused in the declining doys of Gen, Graxnt's Adminis- tration. Nothing less than rovolution could ' snbstitute Mr. Tiuoey for Mr. IHAvzs at this Iate day, and if the Domocrata avolded this rosourcd {n tho hent and passion of tho orig- innl strugglosfor the offleo, it ia not likely that they will be hetrayed into it now, whon it would servo no highor purpose than Mr. Titoex's selfish greed for proferment. There is another phnseof tho matter which Mr. Trpex evidantly ignores. He scems to at Various Points in Bul- garin. in England. Not but that he has been dined and wined enongh to startle tho most vigorons nud robust digestion, but there hnas been a dizsgreonble rivalry among the fac- tiona growing out of his presence, ns onut of everything else that can possibly bo used ns n protext for contention where Bonapnrtiats, Togitimists, Conservatives, and Radicals aro all by the oars. It was probably the nppre- hension of somothing of this kind which, under the ndvica of knowingfriends, induced Geu, Gnaxr to defer his visit to Parisas long 08 he conld conveniently do so, It was protty certain that Lo would fall into the hands of n clique, and Mr, Buaruey, writ- affairs.
